Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Bahr is a Senior Software Engineer based in Los Angeles with nine years of experience building scalable web and cloud-native systems across startups and major tech like Snap. He blends front-end expertise (React, Redux, Angular, Next.js) with backend services in Node, Go, Python/Django, and databases from MySQL/Postgres to MongoDB, often shipping features that tie into production infrastructure on GCP and Kubernetes. At Snap he built microservices for AR lens generation and commerce integrations, and at ENGINEEARS he led end-to-end marketplace and streaming integrations—demonstrating both product-focused delivery and systems design. He prizes readable, maintainable code and high personal standards, and has a habit of approaching problems with curiosity rooted in an academic background in ecology and evolutionary biology. That interdisciplinary perspective shows up in pragmatic engineering tradeoffs and an ability to translate complex domain needs into reliable, user-facing products.
